Sandu noted that the same applies to Ukraine, which "has been resisting with heroism and bravery the invasion, the barbaric invasion of Russia for more than a year and three months."

According to her, their initial goal is to achieve EUR 600 million of additional investment, and she promised to triple this amount.
